Outdoor Runners

Outdoor runners for balcony, patio and garden

With an outdoor runner you instantly give your outdoor space more atmosphere, comfort and direction. It's a versatile rug that connects zones, dampens sound and even makes a narrow balcony look bigger. Lay a long runner alongside your garden table, choose a narrow balcony rug for your balcony, or combine an outdoor runner with a larger outdoor rug for extra warmth. And if you're looking for a carpet or rug that beautifully blurs the line between indoors and outdoors, this type of runner gives you every option. However colourful your garden or balcony may be, an outdoor runner completes the picture and brings your personal style to life straight away.

Can an outdoor runner really stay outside?

YES! Our outdoor runners are genuinely made to stay outside all year round. Even if you go on holiday for a few days and all four seasons come roaring past in the meantime, there's still nothing to worry about. As the saying so nicely puts it: every cloud has a silver lining! All our outdoor rugs are made from polypropylene. A weather-resistant material that dries excellently when the sun shines. And, of course, once the rain has stopped.

As rug specialists, we opt for flatweave structures that absorb little moisture, hold their shape and stay looking good for a long time. To be fair: every outdoor rug keeps its quality longer if you let it dry after prolonged rain and avoid standing water. That way the colour stays fresh and the weave stays taut.

• Weather- and UV-resistant polypropylene: colourfast, mould- and rot-free.
• Easy to maintain: hose down with the garden hose, treat stains with mild soap, then leave to dry.
• Mind the surface: preferably lay it on a flat, water-permeable surface; lift it briefly after prolonged damp.

Combine a runner outdoors

Did you know that an outdoor runner is also perfect next to your swimming pool or hot tub? No more dirty, wet towels on the ground to dry your feet on. By laying a runner outside, you can let your feet land on a soft surface. Silly little dances because you've stepped on a hot surface or a pebble are now a thing of the past. Which is nice when you've just bubbled yourself into a state of complete relaxation in the hot tub.

An outdoor runner works just as well as "routing" on your patio: from the garden door to the lounge area, past the outdoor shower or as a warm strip under a narrow bar table. This is how you create logical walkways and keep the whole calm and stylish.

Outdoor runners in different sizes and colours.

Small, smaller, smallest, or big, bigger, biggest. Our runners are available in different sizes. Whether you have a narrow but long balcony, want an outdoor runner next to your pool, or want to create a small seating area under the veranda. Our range of outdoor runners is available in sizes from 80x150cm all the way up to 80x500cm! Now that's what we call walking barefoot through the garden.

Besides the different sizes, our outdoor runners are also available in a variety of patterns and colours! Go for more contrast in your colourful garden with our black and white runners. Two colours that combine well with each other, but also with other colours. No idea yet which eye-catcher you want to add to your outdoor space? No worries. We've put together a selection of the top 10 best-selling outdoor rugs.

From sandy shades and terracotta to graphic lines: choose a design that picks up the colour of your tiles, facade or garden furniture. That creates a calm, coherent whole that makes your outdoor space look bigger.

Outdoor runners for the balcony: smart styling on few square metres

A runner on your balcony works as an elongated base. Lay it lengthways to visually extend the space, or at right angles to the facade to "anchor" a seating spot. Make sure doors can swing freely and chairs stand firmly. Even more compact? Combine a narrow runner with a small balcony rug under your bistro set for extra layering.

How to choose the right size

Only with the right dimensions does your outdoor runner really come into its own. Use these rules of thumb:

• Alongside an outdoor dining table: choose a runner slightly wider than the chair legs, with 20–30 cm of extra length at both short ends.
• Balcony or walkway: leave 5–10 cm of floor visible all round; that looks airy and gives a clean line.
• Pool/hot tub: go for a sturdy flatweave; on smooth tiles, an outdoor anti-slip underlay can provide extra security.

Style ideas with outdoor runners

Are you going for a calm natural base, or do you dare to contrast with graphic black and white? For a modern, on-trend look, the Fraai collections are a perfect fit, with clean lines and fresh colours. If you love serene calm, choose a jute look in sand or taupe: summery, timeless and easy to combine with wood and greenery. Want to explore styles, materials and shapes further?
